Calendar of Events

Warren Wilson Theatre presents Branden Jacobs-Jenkins Appropriate. This family drama runs November 12, 13 at 7:30pm and 14 at 2:30pm at Kittredge Theatre on the Warren Wilson College campus.
Appropriate explores the story of a troubled family reunited by the death of the patriarch. While cleaning the plantation homestead of their late father, the Lafayette family is haunted by the ghosts of their past. Maintaining peace and selling the property is much harder when new arrivals and old memories seem to appear from thin air. The siblings must confront both their resentment towards each other and the disturbing artifacts found among their fathers things.

The content of the play has already caused controversy on the Warren Wilson College campus,; with some students attempting to discourage participation in the production. According to director Candace Taylor, Appropriate is intended to make you uncomfortable and was chosen for that reason to cause understanding and empathy, and very possibly, change. Personally, I think this campus is brave enough to face one small story of our (shared) American history.

The play has received a great deal of critical attention; The controversy and discomfort surrounding this production reveal the need for the authentic dialogue and conversations that Appropriate sparks, to that end, Warren Wilson Theatre will be hosting talkbacks with the actors after every performance. We invite you to come see this production and challenge yourself to think more deeply about the haunting consequences of our shared (and shameful) American history and the nature of family itself.

Appropriate explores adult themes.
All performances are open to the public.

DOWNTOWN ASHEVILLE

 Blue Ridge Humane Society knows how difficult the loss of a loved pet can be, and to support grieving pet owners, is offering a new peer support group with a professional group moderator.

The free program will provide a safe and non-judgmental space for members of the community to come together to support one another through their loss and grief of their beloved pet(s).

Sign-up is required and the sessions are limited to 20 participants. Sessions will be held via Zoom on the first Wednesday of the month, 6pm-7pm. Registration will be open for the first session until Friday, May 28, 2021, or until full, whichever occurs first. Registration is available at www.blueridgehumane.org/pet-loss-support/

“Pet loss is the worst part of being a pet owner. Our pets are family. Every pet is different and brings a unique light into our lives. The loss of that light can be devastating. Coping with grief, especially in today’s world, is a difficult process,” shares Angela Prodrick, Executive Director of Blue Ridge Humane Society. “We at Blue Ridge Humane Society feel it is important to help people navigate that time of mourning and offer what support we can.”

The sessions will be moderated by BRHS staff and led by Judi Moolten. Judi is a former clinical social worker, with a PhD certificate in Stress and Somatic Psychology. In addition to being a stress coach Judi lives and resides in Hendersonville. Judi comes to BRHS as a volunteer, but also as a pet parent who uses animals to help heal stress and more! Judi also has suffered many losses during COVID-19 and beyond and will be available to just listen, or when requested offer feedback.

Pet loss and grief can trigger intense emotional responses that may need to be addressed with professional resources which is beyond what BRHS is able to provide through the Peer Support group. This cannot to take the place of professional counseling and therapy.

Additional info or support for those who have suffered the loss of a pet can be found at The Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement https://www.aplb.org/.
